Picross Luna - A forgotten tale for Android
I loved it until I got past the first five boards, now all the graphics are black. The completed puzzle shows it in color but when I'm working on it black and boring. The colors were visually stunning. The controls are ok with my stylus (note 4) but I do often lose a heart due to overtap. Music is great. I would pay for this if they were all color w/no ads. Some ads you have to tap there's no x out option like the uber one. Not cool.
Its has simple controls and is very addictive like Tetris minus the stress, it's challenging with a wide array of skill levels like Suduko, and it's as visually and musically appealing as games like Polyforge and Blendo all in one fantastic game. Best of all, NO AD VIDEOS TO WATCH. The game has you develop interesting pixal art from numerical and visual clues. I am often amazed at how detailed and beautiful the images are even on the smallest 5 by 5 grids! I started playing and haven't played anything else since. I really am impressed and love this game.
Great game, just challenging enough while also being relaxing and not stressful - perfect puzzle game. My only complaint is that some of the larger boards are hard to fill in with a touch screen on a phone, as the squares are so small. There is a widget you can use to fill in squares on those large boards without using your finger directly, but it slows me way down. A zoom feature would be nice.
The aesthetic of this game is really pleasing.... The art style, the layout, the music! I'd love it if they added more songs though, there are only 2-3 that altogether last about 7ish minutes, so you cycle through them quickly.... Would be nice if there were more... Also, if the writing in the game could be revised that would he fantastic. It reads like a knockoff foreign product manual. Its very poor English, and often doesn't make sense... Google Translate could do better.... But I won't bash for that, the game itself is good. But the language and music could use some tweaking is all!
I love the game, I've always loved hanjie ever since Mario's Picross on GameBoy! This is a great version with nice music and great graphics. It's really nice to see colour hanjies, which is unusual. It only lost a star because, especially on the 20x20 boards, the controls can get quite fiddly, on the right-most column it doesn't register taps very well and will often think you've tapped outside the grid to the right and deducts a life for it! That said, if you're just careful, mabe use a stylus, it's a great game with lots of engaging boards and levels. If you like hanjie it will keep you entertained happily for hours.
Great game, relaxing puzzle, and engaging story. It's beautiful and i can come anytime i need some unwinding. Just a slight issue, at the 'big book' games, there is one level where i already solved the puzzle but it's still marked as unsolved. Is there any possibility for it to have more than one solution? How do i get past it?
Very relaxing, fun and good for mild brain stimulation. The music is absolutely lovely. The only thing that could really be considered "wrong" with it at all would possibly be the rough translation to English, but it definitely doesn't detract from the game at all. The ads only pop up after a level is completed, so if you just wait a few seconds before hitting "List" you'll avoid some irritation by accidentally opening the ad. Definitely worth playing.
I completed every puzzle and had a nice and relaxing time! Often the music would lull me to sleep. The art style is aesthetically pleasing. I think while there could be a bit more attention to details in menus and the control scheme, overall I enjoyed playing! I have no attachment to the story book story though the picture were cute!
The instructions are slightly hard to understand since I suspect that the creators don't have English as their first language. However, it's intuitive enough that this is a small hurdle. The graphics are beautiful, and it's very satisfying once you figure out how it all works. An excellent game overall, and one that I would absolutely reccomend it to anyone and everyone to try.
I loved that the game UI was beautiful. I loved that there was a story in the "big" section. I appreciate the continued improvement that has been happening with the game. I'm hoping there will be another story soon! I wish that in the "normal" section that the puzzles had become more complex as I worked downward through the matter list as well as in each individual section, but enjoyed them very much anyway. I also wish I could pay to get rid of advertisements. It would be a great improvement!!
Graphics are amazing, great theme and design. Music isn't annoying if the sound is on. I like that the numbers fade in order of where they are on board, very handy. Great game and good variety of easy to challenging. My only small gripe is the 20 x 20 blocks are very small on my phone screen - a zoom feature would be great. Overall fantastic game and relaxing and easy to play.
I really enjoy this game. Puzzles are my favorite, and I have been telling my friends about this game. My only negative review is that the squares in the 20x20 boxes are too small, so when I try to press one square I press two others I didn't want. I wish I could just zoom in a little bit or something. Other then that, great game, so addicting!! :)
i love this!!! the music is charming, the colors are easy on the eyes, and theres SO MUCH CONTENT that i know ill be able to play for a long time! my only problem is that on bigger grids, like 15x15 and 20x20 its REALLY hard to make sure you touch the right square, so sometimes i lose a heart even tho i meant to click the right one. stil tho, overall i love it!
I downloaded it partly because it said there's a story. There's really not. But the puzzles and the music are beautiful! Edit: I was wrong, there is a story. When you have the option between "Normal" and "Big", choose Big to get to the storyline. Also forgot to mention that there is a D-pad for those big puzzles with the really tiny squares. Very helpful! I'm upgrading this to five stars. Relaxing and fun!
Great app. No guessing, every picture is well thought and allows only one solution unlike some other games of the genre. Ads are non-intrusive and skippable. No hidden payments - it doesn't lure you in only to hit you with pay-to-play scheme. I would like a bit more detailed explanation of controls, but otherwise it's perfect.
Awesome graphics and you really get to use your head! My only complaint is that on my phone, if the volume is on and i don't fully close the game but leave it open in the background the music continues to play. Other than that it's a great mind tester
It took me a hot second to figure out how to actually play this game and to fully grasp the concept. I didnt get frustrated because the design and colorful aesthetic was enough to keep me engaged!! Also didn't realise how many puzzles there really are. Visually pleasing and a wonderful app overall!!
The best of this game I have played. The puzzle pictures are inventive and interesting. The theme story is compelling, with cute graphics and pleasant music. Though the 20X20 were difficult with no zoom, in the end I wish there had been more 15 & 20 blocks than 10s in the Small section. Completed the game over several weeks. Give it a try!
Picross Luna is extremely addictive and adorable. The ads are well placed at the end of levels every once in a while and don't interrupt game play. The only problem I've encountered is that when it's running in the background or your phone is locked, the music still plays. It's not too bothersome for me. You can just close the app and not leave it running in the background. I would recommend this game to anyone.
The game is beautiful and good to play during the night as it's not too bright on your eyes. However, the controls, although good overall, are not great when it comes to cancelling moves. I wish it was changed to tapping on the screen with the other finger rather than sliding the finger you're playing with off the grid. Except for that, great game.
Everything is beautiful and perfect. Relaxing, fun, and addicting. I'm not going to give negative points for my fat fingers having issues at the edge of the screen when they give alternative controls. My only irritation is with the big puzzles. I finish one and the back button ceases to function. I have to close it out and go back in. It doesn't freeze, so I'm not gonna dock points, but I am requesting a fix.
This game is just amazing! The music, the graphic... Everything creates a peaceful atmosphere and I can simply relax playing. The only one thing I would change is exiting the game. It's a long path to it and when i don't quit it with "exit" button the music still plays although the app is not on. Cheers!
I love it - a logic puzzle which is also beautiful. Very addictive especially the big picture where you're completing small tiles of a large design. One thing that doesn't work on my version is the sound on/off switch. I have to turn off the device volume or completely exit the game.
Lovely game with great deal of piccrosses to do. Having done a lot of these puzzles digital and paper. My only complaint is i would like to have the option of cycling through filling in, a cross and an empty space. As well as this having a different temporary mark to help with counting out the numbers in the line would be very helpful. Overall very good.
Loved the game. Would have given it 5 stars were it not for the ads overriding the volume. I don't mind the pop up ads, but several times an ad would come up with sound, at high volume, even though I had my tablet muted. For this reason I'm uninstalling the app even though I really enjoyed the game!
I love this game! So calming and fun :) the stylus controls took a bit to get used to when I got into higher levels, but was manageable. The only thing I can suggest is making more puzzles! I cannot find another nanogram app that comes close to the controls and feel of this one. I just want more of this!
Just finished it today and I loved it! The music is great and it helps me go to sleep. Great if you have some spare time! I really do hope there will be another one of these, as all other picross apps I tried weren't that great.
Very soothing music, interesting story, easy to understand, nice art! Overall a very good game, very relaxing to play in spare time. ???? My only complain is that the squares in the 15x15 and 20x20 games are too small, so it's easy to accidentally press a wrong square. Would give 5 stars if we can zoom in.
Super fun and relaxing. You progress at your own pace, no competition involved. Music is repetitive and sometimes gets annoying but you can mute it so it's not really an issue. Depending on your mood, you can do the easy designs or the more complex ones. Tons of designs, never boring!
When I first started playing the game it kept shutting down, but then I realized that it was my phone and not the game. I restarted my phone and the game works perfectly now. I'm so addicted to this game. I looked at other picross games on Big fish game and this one is the most beautiful one out there. Most other mosaic games are just 2 colors. I just love this game!
A wonderful little picross game, with very clean and beautiful art direction. A real rarity in the genre. None of the puzzles go over 20x20 which is great for smaller phone screens. While the story isnt particularily deep or well translated, it provides a nice motivation to finish all the puzzles and gives a good sense of accomplishment at the end. I only wish there was a way to pay to remove ads, they did get annoying.
I like the puzzles... And the music. I had a crazy time figuring out what to do but now it's OK. I have just one issue... When you get to more blocks (15 x 15 and over) it is not easy to get right box or the one I am trying for.... My fingers are too big for small boxes. Otherwise no problems. Thanks
It's so beautiful. I play it every night before I go to sleep because the music is so relaxing. I just wish there were an option to purchase an ad free version/upgrade. I was excited when I realized I must have completed enough puzzles because the ads disappeared for a while, but now they're back! So I dropped it down to 4 stars.
Very cute and fun. Good for those who like puzzles. Works better on larger screens because it's easy to misclick. I would also like to see an online cloud system where progress can be stored as well though... Recently I had my phone wiped, so all the puzzles I solved are now gone. However, still a fun puzzle game
This is a cute game! It's exactly what I was looking for for a picross game. You can either use a strike out system or not for a more traditional picross puzzle. I like that it'll autofill in the "X"es if you finish the row. Very nice touch! I just have one problem on a Note 8. Whenever I minimize the app, the music still plays until I completely close it. Other than that, its very cute. Lots of good puzzles and options to pass the time!
A well built game, however the settings should have an option to turn off the vanishing numbers. I end up skipping a number all together because I can't see it, and have to restart the puzzle because I couldn't see it. I rated high because I love the overall gameplay, but the one thing that is wrong ruins the experience. One more star to go guys, great game.
It's a simple yet very addicting game. I find it very relaxing to play while still being able to concentrate on whats going on around me. Would rate it 5 if I were able to zoom in as right now the x15 and x20 puzzles are quite small and my fingers press outside the blocks frequently.
Definitely worth downloading ???? Soothing music. Very pretty graphics. Most Puzzles are a bit easy but very fun to go through. Took me a couple of minutes to figure out the controls since the written directions in the game seem a bit confusing. Love it though!
Very intelligent and addictive. The soft background music makes it even more interesting and nice to play. The only problem is that the big puzzles don't have a zoom in option, and sometimes i press in the wrong spot by accident because the square size is soooo tiny. That's my only complaint!

This is a really sweet little game! The music and graphics are very soothing and this is only the second game that I have ever left the music on... it is the first thing I usually do after installing a game is turn it of and then turn the volume almost all the way down for the sound effects. But this one is lovely. I also love the pallet pen features for the larger boards were your finger just isn't accurate enough! My new favorite! Now back to the game...
